Removing cache not help

rm -rf ~/.cache/efreet

that happens when no "updated cache" event comes in within a timeout in e - it's probably still updating but is slow. if you have lots of very very very large icon themes and a slow disk this might take a while. check processes like:

ps -ef | grep efreet

what efreet processes are around early on after you start e? like withn the first 10 or 20 seconds.

freeartist@devuan:~$ ps -ef | grep efreet
freeart+  1913  1912  1 02:07 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/efreetd
freeart+  2171  2118  0 02:07 pts/0    00:00:00 grep efreet
freeartist@devuan:~$

you might want to automate this. like have a ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession and for example:

#!/bin/bash

~/my-efreet-checker.sh > efreet-checker.log &
exec enlightenment_start

and ~/my-efreet-checker.sh is:

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do
  date
  ps -ef | grep efreet
  sleep 1
done

Then check that log (wth dates and efreet ps listings).

ok i will make this, but what it does?

PS and where i can questions about enlightenment? forum, discord?

where i must put yours scripts? ~/.xinitrc?

why games running is choppy with high framerates?

why sometimes games says what no SDL driver?
